A poem from my student years, discovered deep in my hard drive. I recall that I had attempted to write something that would sound good with the tempo of a runaway train, but that would slow to a gentle stop in the final line. I implemented dactylic heptameter to achieve this. Did I succeed? Read it out and let me know!<\/span>

\n<\/span>I have been caught on occasions of gazing, persuasions of phrasing that you\u2019re in my eye.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Defying and doubting the prying and shouting, and sprouting affliction I cannot deny.<\/span>
\n<\/span>The fiction in lying and diction in trying to sigh when depictions of you cross my mind,<\/span>
\n<\/span>I\u2019m finding the binding that\u2019s ever-unwinding my heart is departing and leaving behind<\/span>
\n<\/span>a rattling ribcage still battling enraged, forgotten and rotten from heartbreak turned ill.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Yet here in my grieving, my chest feels a heaving of leaving a part of my heart yet to fill.<\/span>
\n<\/span>I hurt, but I\u2019m trusting in flirting and thrusting my sad inhibitions far out of my sight.<\/span>
\n<\/span>I\u2019m finding the worried unconfident flurry of butterflies constantly flying in fright,<\/span>
\n<\/span>The might I can muster, a tightening cluster of strength, alabaster and shockingly white,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Unlocking a feeling of real heavy healing appeal that has shown me my own guiding light,<\/span>
\n<\/span>That\u2019s heightened from hiding, and weaving and wide in my eyes and inside of my delicate soul;<\/span>
\n<\/span>I see there your presence, a daring pearlescence, an essence of blessing that you are my goal.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Not tolling or taxing, but matter-of-fact in the fact that I do, when with you, feel I\u2019m whole.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
